Some claim the recession is over. To these people, I say, fuck you. I think all of us are feeling it right now. We have guildies looking for work because their employer can't pay them, we have friends losing their jobs and having to find some way somewhere to support their families. The USD is a joke, and akin to a Forex roller coaster.

Normally, I'd be all chipper and say "At least we have EQ2!" But to myself, I say, fuck you, self. Even the game market is atrocious lately. A new guild hall after dinging 30 has put all of our toons into the poorhouse, and while the guild hall is starting to look pretty cool, we're kind of stuck until we can level up our carpenters and harvest some serious status points.

So, no, the recession ain't over. I can't sell any weapons lately, in game or out. Montreal's really clamping down on selling ebon swords to minors.

On the other hand, dabbling in virtual currency exchange is promising to boom again very soon. Maybe we need more gold ads.
